Featured song: I Am Yours (Consume Me Completely) by Trevor Thomson Mar 11, 2015

Featured song: I Am Yours (Consume Me Completely) by Trevor Thomson In the past I have talked about taking a piece of music and making your own custom arrangement out of what's on the page. A lot of the time we are reading lead sheets, so there isn't much direction on what the arrangement should be. Today I'd like to look at the music for Trevor Thomson's I Am Yours (Consume Me Completely) and share my ideas as well as an audio sample of how we played it at Mass. Here are three pages of the octavo I've marked up. (Same goes for a lead sheet.) This was one of the first times we played this song, so I really wanted people to learn it AS we sang and prayed it together. A clear introduction of the melody is crucial for a new song, and here you will notice that in the instrumental intro, as well as the first time the Refrain is sung. https://voicesasone.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/I-Am-Yours-LT-Mass-10-12-14.mp4 This song, and many beautiful others, are found on Trevor's new CD with WLP, In Shadow and In Light.

When do those drums need to come in? Nov 06, 2014

Show notes

Hey everyone. Thought I'd share a little sample from two of our Masses this past weekend. What you will hear is the Alleluia played by one ensemble at a Mass, and the same Alleluia played by another ensemble at a different Mass. The drummers at each of these Masses play the Gospel Acclamation with pretty much the same feel, but they each come in at different times (and bass guitar follows). Each has a different effect.Here is the score:Alleluia / Gospel Acclamation1. Here's the first 'live recorded' version from our 8:30 am Mass. The bass and drummer come in right at the top, just like in the Glory to God and Amen from Mass of Saint Ann. (This is a different, newer Alleluia.)Alleluia / Gospel Acclamation - 8:30 Mass2. Here's the second one, from our 6:00 pm Mass. Notice in this version, the piano and guitar set the song in motion first...voices leading the way. Then, on the higher, more elongated 'Alleluia' part, both the bass and drums come in. Everything backs down for the verse, then back up for the Refrain.Alleluia / Gospel Acclamation - 6:00 MassBoth work just fine, in my opinion, but they can help us start thinking about arranging songs in different ways for different effects.One other note on this arrangement: notice the 'hole' in the sound, right at the end of the verse just before it goes back into the 'Alleluia.' We sing, "all things in heaven and on earth are yours" and then there is a rest on beats 4–6. I just think it's a nice effect and allows everything to breathe, while setting up the next big 'Alleluia.' (Again, this is similar to the rests in the last Refrain of Mass of Saint Ann's Glory to God, right after the first "Glory!")
